MOVENPICK HOTEL MACTAN ISLAND CEBU #TravelFeature

First of all, can I just say that I LOVE CEBU! It's probably my favorite place to be in this entire country. I mean, city to beach in thirty minutes, excellent food and a more laid back vibe than Manila... yes please! One of my favorite places to stay when I'm in the South is Movenpick Resort and Spa in Mactan. Aside from good service, nice sized rooms and good food (all of which are important to me when booking a place) it's also SUPER chic and pretty. I immediately fell in-love with it's predominantly white interiors that extend all the way to Ibiza Beach Club overlooking the water.

The last time I was there was last May with my daughter and one of my best friends. We had a blast trying out some of the water activities they had (FLY FISH, omg I thought I was going to die- umm, in a good way LOL) and early morning yoga with a view of the sea. The food is pretty awesome, and I especially love the fare they have at Ibiza Beach Club. I must have eaten an entire order of truffle fries on my own (and it was not the first time) and for the super hungry, there's a churrasco option (Brazilian BBQ) with 10 courses of seafood and meat. Ummm, burp!

There is also a spa where you can go if you want to further relax with a massage, foot spa or mani-pedi and it seems every single place in this resort has a fantastic view of the water. Everyday at 3 PM there is "Chocolate Hour" at the lobby where guests can enjoy anything from brownies, chocolate truffles and chocolate ice cream depending on the day. The gym is also 24 hours, in case you feel the need to burn all the yummy calories off at 3 in the morning. For those who like their privacy, they also offer a few VIP cabanas close to the water for when you want a break from the sun, some snacks and maybe a nap.

With all this gloomy weather coming our way lately, I keep looking through these Cebu summer pictures and hoping the rainy season will end sooner, so I can find yet another excuse to head back South and stay a few nights at Movenpick.www.moevenpick-hotels.com/Cebu‎
